I mentioned in a post that think there will be a lot of psychology majors writing papers titled "What is Wrong with Donald Trump" and another poster replied that he fits Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Per the Mayo clinic website: Per Psychology Today's website: and

And some think that he has no interest in being president, he just wants to win the election. But I don't see anything in his behavior during the campaign that would lead me to think that he would go along with what anyone else had to say or let someone else make the decisions (except, I suppose, if he realizes that if he lets others make the decisions, he would have someone else to blame when things go wrong). Well, after his looming behind her at the second debate, she probably prepared for the third debate by having large men in business suits randomly walk up behind her as she practiced her answers, so she got used to it. As for the touching, she was likely comforted by the fact that she was in a room full of witnesses, she was wearing pants, and he probably doesn't think she is good looking enough for more than a shoulder pat.

I saw a Trump surrogate on one of the news channels this morning talking about Trump not agreeing to accept the results. The interviewer said that Ivanka and Kellyanne were both interviewed Wednesday morning and said that he would accept the results of the election, then, that evening, Trump refused to say he would accept the results. The surrogate said that one of Donald Trumps "attributes" is that he hasn't been in politics for 30 years and he isn't as articulate or polished. This is similar to what other Trump surrogates have said, but it got me thinking about a few things. First, the surrogate said that it was a Donald Trump "attribute" but he didn't say it was a positive or desirable attribute. Second, as others have mentioned, the president needs to be articulate. A president who is not well spoken, who is not able to get their real message across, could be dangerous. Trump won't suddenly become articulate and polished if he becomes president. What is their plan if he wins? - Trump meets with other world leaders, then after he leaves the room, Kellyanne comes in and explains to the world leader what Trump really meant? "I know, Ms. Merkel, that he said he was going aim all our nuclear weapons at the Berlin and that if you don't agree to this trade agreement, he would put in the code, but he really meant that he looks forward to increasing commerce between our two great nations." They can't keep claiming that Trump isn't articulate because he hasn't spent decades in politics - at some point it becomes a sign that he is stupid and/or lacks common sense. Trump has been campaigning for more than a year but he hasn't figured out that he shouldn't say certain things? He and his surrogates complain that the media focuses on the wrong things, but, after all this time, shouldn't Trump have a clue that, if he wants them to report on his 5 point plan for whatever, he shouldn't say inflammatory things? Is that really what some are want in a president? For the record, although I think he isn't too bright and does lack common sense, I am sure Trump knows exactly what sort of comments get that attention. He has been finding ways to draw attention to himself for decades

I was talking to a ( moderate) Republican friend, who said that he is voting for Clinton, and that he hopes the Republicans lose the house and the senate, because he believes that is what it will take to get the Republican Party back on track. I'm not so sure he's correct. I'm afraid The extremists would take over the Republican Party I feel that having a two party system, or perhaps a three party system, is good for the country, unless Congress get so partisan that they refuse to compromise in anyway and congressmen vote against things just because the other side is for it (which I think is where we are headed, if were not already there). So many well spoken posters here, people who follow politics much more closely than I ever have -- I'm wondering what affect any of you think losing the House and the Senate would have on the Republican Party long-term.

I agree, but technically, I don't think it stopped being shitty after he left home. I believe he said that he caught his father int he throes of passion when he came home during Spring Break when he was 13. I have 3 daughters - typical morning sickness with the first, no sickness at all with the second, and sickness from morning to late afternoon with the third. The only thing that is predictable about pregnancy is that it is unpredictable (same thing is true of babies).

If all the Trump supporters vote, then they only make up 10% of the population, which makes me feel better (and that is why I will ignore the notion that not all of them vote and/or not all of them are registered to vote).

My husband saw an interview with Melania where she said that, if she was first lady, she would work to end cyber-bullying. When the interviewer asked "like your husband on twitter?" She replied, "No, he can take care of himself."

Was that the neighbor's car? How is Dre's car going to get home? I work in a school and white male teachers mention that the are very careful to never be in a room alone with a kid. I have never heard a female teacher say this. When my kids were little the standard advice was that you should tell your child that if they got lost in a store to go find an employee to help them. Then I read that that they changed the advice to "If you are lost in a store, find a mom with kids to help you," because most pedophiles are men. All men get suspicious looks if they get too friendly with a kid. I thought Dre should have held the door open and called for help (either yell for help or make a phone call). But I can see how he didn't have time to think about it.

I liked the episode. I feel like Bernie's pregnancy is written to fit each episode. She is not showing, then she suddenly is showing, no mention of morning sickness, then she has horrible morning sickness. However, I am okay with this because my big concern when they revealed the pregnancy was that the show would become too OTT pregnant-centric --- Bernie being OTT emotional, and barfing all the time, and complaining about swollen feet, etc (they can all happen during pregnancy, but TV shows tend to make them ridiculously OTT).

I agree that body spray for little girls is unnecessary. They got a sympathy deal. It wouldn't be the first time Mark or Damon gave someone a deal because they wanted to encourage youth or somehow identified with the presenter. I was confused by the chocolate thing - you take off two plastic half-sphere, then eat the two chocolate half-spheres, revealing a plastic sphere, that you then open to get your toy? And I want to know why they no longer have the contract (with an Australian? Austrian? company) that was preventing them from doing what they want to do now. - was the product not successful? Why wouldn't that company want to try selling in the US? The heel women made the mistake at grossly over-valuing their company to the point that I thought they might just be there for free advertising, but they seemed genuinely concerned when it looked like they may not get a deal. I would never buy one, but I thought the butter thing was intriguing - how does it work? I wondered how easy it was to clean too. And do you store it in the fridge? I thought he said that it was motion activated - that as soon as you picked it up it started melting the butter. I put it in my fridge, then I move it to get to the left-overs, and now it has started melting? I thought it fell into the realm of not necessary and much too expensive, but some people will want the latest gadget and will buy it. Funny that the sharks talked about how small the market for the $30 heel protectors was, but they didn't seem concerned about the size the market for a $130 butter melter (my butter melter, aka the microwave, was half that price).

I got an email from the only Trump supporter I know. It was about Hillary Clinton screaming and yelling obscenities backstage after the Presidential Forum. She wanted Matt Lauer to be fired. It made me realize something. I have know people who don't "get" sarcasm - they have trouble realizing when someone is being sarcastic. Perhaps the same thing is true with hypocrisy, that there are people who can't see hypocrisy. If true, it would go a long way to explain Trump supporters.

Add me to the list who immediately thought it was a Trump supporter doing it because they are upset at the RNC for not supporting Trump and trying to make it look like it was liberals who did it. The lack off "Choose as many as applicable" or "all of the above" choices is making me wonder if this was really a question or if it was a way of pointing out all that is horrible about Trump

Just finished season 3 and my big question is - when the brothers go to that town (one of the first times we see the brothers) everyone is doing the army crawl to get around. The brothers do it too. Why?

This proves that Trump is not just reactionary, but he is also just plain stupid (yeah, I know, it isn't anything we didn't know before). I wonder what percentage of psychology majors will be writing term papers on "What is Wrong with Donald Trump" - Delusions of grandeur, projecting, pathological lying, body dysmorphic syndrome (does that apply if you think you are much better looking than you really are?), short term memory loss (saying he never said he was smart to not pay taxes within 2 hours of saying it), long term memory loss (I never said...never met...), etc... Many people reporting the news don't think. I dislike Trump completely, I see nothing redeeming about him, I believe that he did do the things his accusers are accusing him of, and I think there are probably many more women out there who could tell similar stories about him. However, an example of people in the media not thinking about what is being reported --- I have heard quite few people on news programs say that Trump must be guilty because the accusers are describing very similar activities to those he said on the tape. The people saying this are giving their opinions, but the supposed news anchors/journalists aren't pointing out that the accusers came forward after hearing the tape, so accusing him of something similar to what he said to Billy Bush is not proving anything. There he goes, projecting again. Psychological projection is a theory in psychology in which humans defend themselves against their own unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.

I am confused by the highlighted sentence. The Trump tape came out on friday night, the debate was two days later. Trump brought the women because he was "fighting back" for him being called a sexual predator after the tape was all over the news.

Big bankruptcies, big losses, big lies, big ego I have an aversion to "career politicians" When I hear the term, I think of someone who (1) will say whatever people want them to say in order to get elected, (2) doesn't base votes on what their constiuents what but rather on what their party leaders want, (3) will vote for bills that have appealing sounding names even if they know that most of the money will be spent on something other than what the title says it will be spent on, (4) expects special treatment because they won the election, etc.... I don't want these types of politicians - they lie, they cheat, they will spread any rumor they can against their opponent, even if there is nothing to substantiate it, they have no real understanding of the average person, their egos are huge, they can't admit when they are wrong, and they are fake, and they think the law and rules of common decency don't apply to them...and ...I just described Trump, the guy running on the platform of of not being a career politician.

I would feel better about 36% of my fellow Americans if I could hear from a few people who say they supported Trump and then realized the hypocrisy (about the sexual abuse stuff, about releasing tax returns, calling others liars, even if was just about complaining about interrupting) and that made them stop supporting Trump. I need to invent a way to reverse time , so I could have Trump win and within a few months all the Trump supporters would realize that he was never "one of them" and his plans were not to their benefit. Then I would have them somehow retain this information an reverse time to Nov 8 and Hillary would would win by a landslide Trump would never be heard from again I was pulling up to a red light the other day - I was the only car in the right lane and there 3 cars already stopped in the left lane. As I esaed up to the line, a woman on a bike rode between 2 of the cars in the left lane and was headed right in front of my car. She yelled and had a shocked look on her face, then she continued to cross in front of me while flipping me off. She was the one that didn't follow the law, and, although she was obviously surprised by my car, she somehow expected me to see her on her bike . I didn't say anything to her, as I wasn't about to follow her down the side street, but if I had the opportunity, I would have said "You need to stop blaming others for your stupidity." Then I realize that it is the same thing I want to say to Trump and to his supporters. Stop blaming others for your stupidity. For example, Trump thinks he gets to give rebuttals to Hillary's rebuttals during the debate. He "answers" the question with something off topic, she rebuts with an on topic reply, then he tries to give a rebuttal to her answer, then whines because the moderators tell him that they need to move on to the next question. And the Trump supporters want to blame the Mexicans or the Democrats or government or Blacks or... (the list is too long) for theirs lives not being where they want them to be.

I was not a Hillary fan and it was because when she was first lady, she seemed very fake and because she stayed with Bill after the Monica Lewinsky ordeal. I could understand standing by him when it was an accusation. I can understand her staying with him through the end of his presidency - A president shouldn't be going through a divorce when he is running the nation. But I expected her to leave him after his term was over. To me, staying with him meant she wasn't a strong-minded woman, and that she stayed with him for the perks of being a wife of a former president. This also meant that she was just a typical politician. I voted for Bernie in the primary because I thought Trump may actually find something on her that would cause her to drop out and I wanted to have a back-up plan. I didn't really want Bernie, because of his age. If there had been more democrats int he race, I probably would have voted for one of them. But after seeing how she handles Trump and all the crap they throw at her, and discovering that she does actually have a good sense of humor and thinks well on her feet, I am on board. I will be voting for Hillary in November not because I do not want Trump but because I do want Hillary.

I don't remember where I saw it, but I watched a clip of Trump from the 1990's, where he says that the women accusing Bill Clinton are not telling the truth. I'm thinking that Trump may actually believe everything he says. That his ego is so overblown that he truly believes that he is such a prize that every female would love to date him. I think he also believes that he has great respect for women and that he didn't say whatever it is they showed him saying on video earlier. If he does truly believe the lies he is spouting, then he has some serious mental health issues.

I thought I took this show off the auto record list, because I found the parents so unlikeable, but there it was under recent recordings and I decided to give it one more try. I liked it! The family wasn't obnoxious. I will keep it on auto-record. The obnoxious parents we saw the last two weeks (being proud of being the bad neighbors, etc...) would surely know about and take advantage of any way to use JJ's disability to get themselves something, but I can see how the more normal people they were this week wouldn't exploit it that way.

I predict that after Trump loses the election and the republican party is left in shamble, he will say that he doesn't care about being president because he makes more money running his many, many, profitable, very profitable companies, and that the only reason he ran for office was to break the republican party. One of the news channels had this on their news scroll "Trump: Calls accusers 'horrible, horrible liars' " I haven't heard his speech, but I can imagine him standing in front of a room of his supporters and saying that his accusers are "horrible, horrible liars. I am a much, much better at lying than any of them. I am so good at lying. Tremendously good. No one is better at lying than I am. I am so good that none of you have figured out that I have been lying to you all the time" Then the supporters would cheer, I think it would be more accurate to say "Trump just looms and lies and sniffs for ninety minutes..."

There have been a lot of theories, and they all seem to be plausible, but I might as will throw mine into the mix - I think Ken voted for Jessica because he thought his name was on the chopping block since he had defied Lucy's commands. He probably thought that, this far into the game, they would split the vote, so he wanted to make sure Jessica got votes.

A day late - I really appreciated Trevor pointing out that all these politicians should be offended by the Trump tape because they are human, not because they have daughters. They don't need to be related to females to be offended by it. So, if they only had sons, would they be okay with that sort of "locker room talk"?

Trump said that he would not want to be in a foxhoel with any of them the republicans who have withdrawn their support. I immediately thought that they wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with him either. Could you imagine being in a foxhole with Trump? He would be yelling all the time, drawing the attention of the enemy. Then there's the constant complaining "Why do you get the south side of the foxhole?" Your K-rations looks bigger than mine!" Add in the lying and denials and blaming and bragging. And foxholes aren't very big - the way he talks with his hands - he'd end up poking someone's eyes out. He was 59 at the time. That is plenty old enough to know better. But rules that apply to others don't apply to him. Everytime I hear him say he wants to make America great again, I add the part he is leaving out '...for rich, white, prejudiced men"

I find myself in the same position. I think it is because Trump is not a typical republican. I have friends that voted republican and I could understand why they thought the republican was a better choice or fit their viewpoints better. Them voting republican just meant that their priorities, the things they based their votes on, were different than mine. However, to me, voting for Trump says more about a person's character and intelligence - it is not just a difference in priorities. Though I know a number of republicans, only one of them is voting for Trump - He absolutely hates Bill Clinton because "Bill Clinton is a liar" yet he has no problem voting for Trump - It has made me realize that this friend is not as rational as I thought. I heard one woman say that she has always voted republican and always will, even though this time we have "a jackass leading the mule train." I tuned in at the tail end of an interview with a republican congressman who was voting for Hillary. He said that the parties used to try to work together but that all changed in the 1990's when the republicans gained control of congress. Then the GOP became fixated on Bill Clinton and making him look bad. They were automatically against anything he was for. Eventually, the GOP started to split and that is why they are having the trouble they are having now.
